cvp3 2,103 Posted October 9, 2018 Sooo, I'd love to say that I've never bought every color of a watch model....but that would be a lie. Bought my first Glycine Airman 42mm Quartz (aka double 12) in blue and had to have the black and white. Absolutely no regrets. Easily the finest watch for the money period.

Gotcha... Almost didn't see the date window! Is it a chrono? What's the subdial for? Is there a tail on the hour hand or is that a GMT hand? The watch looks pretty straightforward at a glance, I didn't expect to have so many questions about them! I really like the black one. Nice pickup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted October 10, 2018 First, these are available on eBay. List price is $349, but he'll accept $180. Maybe less, I didn't try. The watch is really just stunning in person. First the size at 42mm and it just wears awesome. Feels more like 40mm to me. The dial is just amazing. - Top crown unlocks the bezel so you can move to the time zone of your choice - Middle crown acts like every watch, time/date set - Lower crown sets the lower dial to the exact time you want. No hour jumping, so if you want to be 30 minutes different from main dial, so-be-it! So basically you can track 3 time zones. Watch the video so you can see this thing in high res'. The caseback, strap, bezel, finish details.....this watch just rocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I still worked for an airline - I'd buy one of these. Extremely practical - and I love the execution. Plus, very handsome looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FL13 511 Posted October 10, 2018 Right now Glycine is a killer value. I bought my Airman 18 (39mm) before the Invicta buyout so I paid double what they are going for now. But if i didn't have one I'd buy one. They are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted October 14, 2018 Just picked up the other 3 Automatics. Decent deal. Watchgooroo just listed some new Glycine Automatic Double Twelves on Bracelet for $599. Offered and accepted $400. Next best price I could finds was $449 for similar on strap, not bracelet.
